Haute Couture is the highest form of fashion, every stitch, every design is custom-made and it is a form of artwork.
In order for each designer to be considered to be Haute Couture they must belong to the Syndical Chamber for Haute Couture in Paris, France, which is regulated by the French Department of Industry. Fashion is art that you can display and wear, and each one of these Haute Couture designers is praised on their ability and creativity to think outside of the box in the world of fashion. They are risk takers who produce beautiful pieces of art. The reason for choosing each one of these pieces for my exhibition is because of the beauty that has been created at the highest level of fashion. Each designer is fairly well known in the world of fashion and must follow very strict procedures in order for their designs to be considered Haute Couture. Each designers and their dresses respectably have also been an inspiration to the fashion world today and been the ones who initially pushed the envelope to what fashion is today. By the end of this exhibit, I hope for it take people through a journey of fashion history.
